You sound a lot like me.. the sleep issues, the pain and the fatigue. I also tried topamax and it was great on pain and my PTSD symptoms. But it made me pretty stupid and I couldnt get over 50mg due to rapid cycling. I found that even a tiny dose of 12.5mg helped a lot. But my doc didnt believe me and took me off it.
Im not sure where the fatigue and pain come from. Sometimes I have days where I feel like I got run over by a bus and I have to take several naps during the day.
The only thing thats helped has been exercise and stimulants. of course stims make anxiety worse. I just live with it.
wellbutrin does nothing for the pain, but desipramine was good. 25-50mg helped without much anxiety. Very good on pain. Helped a little with fatigue.
I had a mixed-state reaction to several SSRIs but zoloft has been good to me. Helps a little with fatigue.
If youve tried TCAs and trazodone for sleep, maybe try hydroxyzine, prazosin or seroquel at a low dose? Adding some melatonin an hour before bed can sometimes help.
